Define when a Process Instance is Completed

In order to determine when process instances are defined as completed, a variable can be used to specify which activities represent a process end. Defining a process end is an optional feature, so its configuration is placed in the mpmX_repository/[mvProcessDescription]/mpmX_config_repository.qvs. Nevertheless, if the module Process Monitoring is to be enabled, defining the mvProcessFinished Variable is mandatory.

 

To define the variable, perform the following steps:

1. Decide with which activity a case is closed and save the activity name in the variable mvProcessFinished.

   • In the process example in chapter Basic Concepts of Process Mining a case is closed when the activity "Closed" occurs.

2. Adjust the ActivityType in the variable mvProcessFinished.

   1. If you have only one activity that defines the process' end, do this:

      
      SET mvProcessFinished = ActivityType= 'Closed';
      

   2. If you have more than one activity that defines the process' end, do this:

      
      SET mvProcessFinished = match(ActivityType,'Closed','Closed Also');
